I.D. card product

Claim 2

An I.D. product comprising a generally rectangular ply having a front, a rear and a pair of longitudinally-extending side edges, said ply including card stock having intersecting longitudinal and transverse lines of weakness defining an I.D. card, a pressure sensitive adhesive-equipped transparent film having first and second portions, said first portion being attached to one face of said I.D. card, said second portion of said film being in face-to-face relation with said ply, said second portion of said film being equipped with a release liner in covering relation to said pressure sensitive adhesive and interposed between said film and said ply and said film second portion being movable into covering relation with the other face of said I.D. card, said film second portion and release liner having longitudinally extending side edges constituting an attachment part, a longitudinally extending line of potential severance in said attachment part spaced slightly inward of the longitudinally extending side edge of said film second portion, and adhesive means securing said attachment part to said ply whereby said attachment part remains with said ply upon severing along said line of potential severance.

Claim 3

The I.D. product of claim 1 in which the longitudinally extending side edge of said film second portion overlaps said release liner side edge whereby said pressure sensitive adhesive secures said attachment part to said ply.

Claim 4

The I.D. product of claim 2 in which said line of potential severance is spaced slightly inward of the longitudinally extending side edge of said release liner.

Claim 5

The I.D. product of claim 1 in which said longitudinally extending side edges of said film second portion and said release liner are aligned, said line of potential severance is in both said film second portion and said release liner, and further adhesive means secures said release liner to the portion of said ply aligned with said attachment part.

Claim 6

The I.D. product of claim 4 in which said ply is equipped along one of its longitudinally extending side edges with a control punch margin defined by a longitudinally extending line of perforation adjacent said one longitudinally extending side edge of said ply, said line of potential severance being aligned with said longitudinally extending line of perforation whereby detachment of said control punch margin simultaneously separates said attachment part from the remainder of said film second portion and said release liner.

Claim 7

An I.D. card product comprising a generally rectangular ply having a front, a rear and a pair of side edges, at least one of said side edges being equipped with a longitudinally extending control margin defined by a line of perforation extending parallel to said one side edge and spaced therefrom, said ply including card stock having intersecting longitudinal and transverse lines of weakness therein defining and I.D. card having first and second faces, pressures sensitive adhesive-equipped transparent film having first and second portions, said first portion being attached to said first face of said I.D. card, the second portion of said film being in face-to-face relation with said ply, said second portion of said film being equipped with a release liner covering said pressure sensitive adhesive and interposed between said film and said ply and said film second portion being movable into covering relation with said second face of said I.D. card, said film second portion and said release liner being adhesively attached to said control margin, with a line of perforation in said film second portion and said release liner aligned with the line of perforation in said ply whereby upon detachment of said control margin said second portion is available for removal of said release liner and pivoting into said covering relation.

Claim 8

An I.D. card product comprising a generally rectangular ply having a front, a rear and a pair of side edges, at least one of said side edges being equipped with a longitudinally extending control margin defined by a line of perforation extending parallel to said one side edge and spaced therefrom, said ply including card stock having intersecting longitudinal and transverse lines of weakness therein defining and I.D. card having first and second faces, pressures sensitive adhesive-equipped transparent film having first and second portions, said first portion being attached to said first face of said I.D. card, the second portion of said film being in face-to-face relation with said ply, said second portion of said film being equipped with a release liner covering said pressure sensitive adhesive and interposed between said film and said ply and said film second portion being movable into covering relation with said second face of said I.D. card, said film second portion and said release liner being adhesively attached to said control margin, with a line of perforation in said film second portion and said release liner aligned with the line of perforation in said ply whereby upon detachment of said control margin said second portion is available for removal of said release liner and pivoting into said covering relation.

Claim 9

An I.D. card product comprising a generally rectangular ply having a front, a rear and a pair of longitudinally-extending side edges, at least one of said side edges being equipped with a longitudinally extending control margin defined by a line of perforation extending parallel to said one side edge and spaced therefrom, said ply including card stock having intersecting longitudinal and transverse lines of weakness therein defining an I.D. card, pressure sensitive adhesive equipped transparent film having first and second portions, said first portion being attached to one face of said I.D. card, the second portion of said film being in face-to-face relation with said ply, said second portion of said film being equipped with a release liner in covering relation to said pressure sensitive adhesive and interposed between said film and said ply, said film second portion and release liner having longitudinally extending side edges adjacent said control punch margin, said film second portion having an attachment part adjacent the longitudinally extending side edge thereof secured to said ply, said attachment part being defined by a line of potential severance spaced inward of the longitudinally extending side edge of said film second portion.

Claim 10

An I.D. card product comprising a generally rectangular ply having a front, a rear and a pair of longitudinally-extending side edges, at least one of said side edges being equipped with a longitudinally extending control margin defined by a line of perforation extending parallel to said one side edge and spaced therefrom, said ply including card stock having intersecting longitudinal and transverse lines of weakness therein defining an I.D. card, pressure sensitive adhesive equipped transparent film having first and second portions, said first portion being attached to one face of said I.D. card, the second portion of said film being in face-to-face relation with said ply, said second portion of said film being equipped with a release liner in covering relation to said pressure sensitive adhesive and interposed between said film and said ply, said film second portion and release liner having longitudinally extending side edges adjacent said control punch margin, said film second portion having an attachment part adjacent the longitudinally extending side edge thereof secured to said ply, said attachment part being defined by a line of potential severance spaced inward of the longitudinally extending side edge of said film second portion.

Claim 11

The I.D. card product of claim 7 in which said side edges of said film second portion and said release liner are aligned, and adhesive means on said release liner secures said attachment part to said ply.

Claim 12

The I.D. card product of claim 7 in which the longitudinally extending side edge of said film second portion overlaps the longitudinally extending side edge of said release liner whereby said pressure sensitive adhesive adjacent the longitudinally extending side edge of said film second portion secures said attachment part to said ply.

Claim 13

The I.D. card product of claim 7 in which said line of potential severance is aligned with said line of perforation.
